BALTIMORE — Former Gilman teacher Christopher Bendann was found guilty of all nine charges in his sex abuse trial.
Detectives began investigating Bendann back in January 2023 after he was terminated by the school for "inappropriate and suspicious relationships with current and former students."
According to charging docs, one victim stated from Sept. 16- June 2018, Bendann would give him rides home after they had been drinking.
In exchange for the ride, Bendann would make them run around naked at Meadowood Park and the hill at St. Paul's.
The victim reported that this went on for about a year and "then things got worse."
From here, Bendann would request nude photos from the victim on Snapchat. He would then threaten to expose the victim if he didn't produce more pictures.
Bendann was still employed at Gilman as a teacher and an advisor at the time of the abuse.
The victim says he was 15-years-old when the abuse started.
